Question - I had a gift of points to spend and decided to get Horizon's season pass. Figured out I had to download the rally expansion from the in-game menu and that went well but what about all of the car packs? Are they automatic or do I need to 'get' them somehow? Just starting so perhaps it becomes obvious later on but thought I would ask. Thanks!

New achievements adding up to 250 gamerscore have leaked suggests there will be more DLC on it's way

As pointed out on NeoGAF, Forza Horizon season pass owners received their last piece of DLC earlier this month in the form of a new car pack. The season pass provided access to six car packs and December's Forza Horizon Rally expansion pack.

I got Horizons on sale and liked it plenty, but I found myself missing the exercise of learning a track and getting better and better at it. With Horizons you never really know what's coming, which can also be fun, but when I drive on virtual Laguna Seca or Maple Valley, I know I'll be pushing my virtual cars to their very limits.

What you said is part of it. Also, the Horizon world is pretty small compared to, say, Oahu or even Ibiza in TDU2 and I quickly felt bored running the same roads over and over. Additionally, I miss the parts of Forza Motorsports that were omitted from Horizon, like tuning; I tune every car in FM4 and it makes a heck of a difference, certainly for my driving style. And not having actual (as opposed to cosmetic) damage means there's no consequence for using concrete barriers as cushions for wild driving, not to mention leaning on the AI in a race. Overall, for me, Horizon fell between two stools: not big enough to be a good open world game, not comprehensive enough to be a good Forza game.

OK, this is something new to me, but maybe everyone else knows about this. There is a Forza Rewards site where depending on your progress and achievements in the Forza games back to Forza 2, plus Forza Horizon, you get rewards of cars, credits and tokens. Since I have a bunch of progress and achievements in all those games I had five rewards awaiting me:

And apparently I get more rewards in a couple of days. I think they are trying to convince me to preorder Forza 5....

Holy crap, what tier are you? I'm only Tier 3, I guess I don't play hard enough. where your reward is millions of credits, mine are 20k. I guess I don't play Forza enough.

I'm Tier Five, 4546 out of 5000 possible points. I'm not an achievements type of guy, but I did get a lot of all the possible cars and drive many of the possible races. And I've owned and played the hell out of every Forza game since the first one.

so, finally fired up the full game that I bought awhile back when it was on sale for $15. Is it possible to win the opening race against Flynt? I came fairly close but he always seemed to have an extra burst of speed I didn't. did a few races also, thinking I may have done better if I wasn't drunk, and definitely feel it may play better with a driving wheel. thankfully I'm not drunk enough that a new wheel is on the way from Amazon, especially with XB1 so close.

I have to say the green arrows that you can toggle on to help..well... help. It's helping me get the nuances down, where I actually use the brakes instead of bumping off other objects to change velocity. if I keep it up I may only end up getting my ass kicked instead of gang raped with the GT Forza 5 crew.

And the rich get richer... I got a notice that I had more rewards, but I think it's just that somehow it hadn't given credit for my previous rewards. Anyway, here's my current total take, and more in two weeks
